One of the ways that this could improve in the future is that we're working on a notional caching service as a future Fediverse Auxiliary Service Provider, so that this kind of content could be shared between small groups of instances that chose to use it.

If folks like the "Rebel Alliance" laptop sticker, you can get one via https://fediverseforfreedom.org/ ... just sayin'.

Do you mean you're trying to access Threads' ActivityPub endpoint(s)?

I'm pretty certain that you have to use signed requests, and bear in mind that not all users have federation enabled.

I just confirmed that by using the fedify CLI to test. Running fedify lookup andypiper@threads.net fails, but with fedify lookup -a andypiper@threads.net (which spins up a local server and performs authenticated requests) I get back JSON from the WebFinger endpoint.

You'll probably get some folks able to share their experiences integrating / testing with Threads federation in some of the Fediverse Developers related Matrix rooms.

Cool, but Loops is not a Fediverse app until it federates, and it can't be self-hosted until the code is available.

I have stickers (and was sharing them at FOSDEM) but I haven't put them online anywhere yet, I need to get on that! Thanks for liking it!

well, except that is not actually federated yet.
